Twelve maps of continental Europe indicating the protected nature area status in 2019 according to Natura 2000 and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The IUCN status was extracted from crowdsourced data obtained from OpenStreetMap through geofabrik.de.

This dataset contains:

  • 3 raster maps representing Natura 2000 protection status (A, B and C), named Natura2000_[status].tif
  • 8 raster maps representing OSM-derived IUCN protection status (1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 'other'), named OSM_IUCN_[status].tif
  • 1 aggregated map (adm_protected.area_natura2000.osm_p_30m_0..0cm_2019..2021_eumap_epsg3035_v0.1) where each of the 11 protection statuses, as well as pixels where multiple statuses apply, are assigned a unique value.

Code on structure and applications of the dataset is available on GitLab
